Amish once again front page news (& "witness")
Posted by tom | Sep 27, 2011
On Friday as Theresa and I pushed to start our Road Trip: Traveling back in time to "the Grove"/Road Trip: Traveling back in time to "ACAC", I ran into the grocery story to pick up a few items. While flying through the aisles, I glanced at the Intelligencer Journal/Lancaster New Era.
Bam!
The front page news, just under the banner, hit me with a picture similiar to the one I took the day before at the Young Center's The Power of Forgiveness: Lessons from Nickel Mines: Forgiveness in the Face of Tragedy: Five-Year Lessons Conference. The article is superb and a must read: Elizabethtown conference revisits Nickel Mines: Forgiveness 'a way of life' (Tom Knapp. Intelligencer Journal/Lancaster New Era. 9/23/2011).
Teaser: I left the conference's day session for dinner with family singing Holy, Holy, Holy. The 250 participants as a community truly walked on holy ground and in a sacred space. "Culture making" by the people of God in a rich and complex manner. To God be the glory!
PS. Lots of notes to sort through. . . . a series in progress with testimony and wrestlings posted in a variety of places :)
